Why do I want/need temperature control?

Help me understand that. So you actually release and press the fire button while drawing on the drip tip? Or do you inhale more when you feel it getting hotter? Most folks don't use either method, that I know anyway. I think they are saying if you are just doing a straight 5 second draw the coil is getting hotter regardless of how hard you draw because of the constant non varied wattage. If I am misunderstanding please clarify how you vape.

Basically "taste" tells you when it's time to drip, or when to stop sucking on the drip tip & get your damn finger off the button.
I mean, did you really have a hard time telling when you were "hot boxing" a cigarette or something?!?
You guys seem to think that managing your vape is some difficult task or something! (Guess maybe it is now that everyone wants to vape at a bazillion watts!)

A month ago I was vaping an rda on an iStick 50w, 1.5 ohm coils at 20 watts. Then I put the rda on a Kangxin mini with TC using a .15 ohm coil at 500 degrees. At first it seemed like the kanthal setup tasted better but I ignored that and used TC exclusively for a month. Then I went back to the kanthal setup and vaped that for a day and decided I prefer TC even though building takes a little more time and I think TC uses more power.

I don't say TC is superior but there isn't much reason to argue the merits bacause pretty soon all regulated mods will have both.

Basically not everyone is a mouth to lung tootle puffer like you.

If you're going by taste on a lung hit subohm build then by the time you taste the burning, you've burned your wick and it's all over. Time to take it all apart and rewick it. You can be half way through a puff and then BAM, burnt wick. Temperature control prevents that and your finger can't because by the time you taste it the damage has been done.

You don't need temperature control because of how you vape. I wouldn't bother recommending temperature control to any tootle puffer. But surely you're aware that not everyone is happy being a tootle puffer, and for those that aren't temperature control can be a real blessing.


As for me personally, I much prefer temperature control if for no other reason than I prefer the cleaner taste that nickel gives me. With kanthal I can taste the wire but with nickel I taste nothing but the juice. I run TC coils in my Nautilus for just that reason. I've got a full, unopened box of kanthal Nautilus coils that will probably never get used. In my opinion the flavor is just better from the TC coils.

LOL

My wife is a hardcore tootle puffer so I can see both sides. Temperature control for her would be a complete waste of time. She takes little 2-3 second mouth to lung hits on a 2ohm coil at 7 watts. She's been vaping over 2 years and I'm not sure she even knows what a dry hit is. She once took a puff on my Nautilus just to see what I used and immediately went into coughing fits, practically gagging from the amount of vapor compared to what she is used to. And that was just a Nautilus.

So IMO, how useful someone would find TC to be depends on how they vape. There are people who would benefit greatly from it, and others who would find it about as useful as putting a turbocharger on a Smart Car. But then again I've always said there is no best anything, there is only what is best for you. Everyone is different, so everyone has different wants and needs and no single device is the best for everyone. And that applies to just about anything, not just ecigs.

Just bought an evic vt hopefully no more dry hits for me
